A list of finalists for the 2022 Premier’s NSW Export Awards has been announced ahead of a gala awards night at Sydney Town Hall on October 12.
The finalists are in four categories specific to NSW, and 13 others that are recognised by other states and territories. Winners from the 13 categories will go on to be finalists at the 60th Australian Export Awards.
A first-time finalist in the Regional Exporter category, Australian Native Products Company, said the awards were a way to boost the profile of his company. ANP is the world’s largest grower and exporter of lemon myrtle.
“We have reached some big export goals in the past 12 months exporting our unique native botanicals,” said the company’s General Manager, Ross Norris
“Being part of the Awards will help lift our profile as we continue to grow and share the First Nations history internationally.”
Interim Investment NSW CEO Katie Knight said in a statement: “I’m thrilled to see the rich diversity of exporters showcased in this year’s finalist list.
“From industrial robotic automation and high-tech medical devices to Australian native botanicals, all these businesses play a key role in contributing to our state’s $82 billion export economy.”
